 Very easy game for kids, 2008-03-15
I was really excited to see the Lego theme for a chess game. I knew my kids would love it while continuing to learn how to play. When I first got it I immediately installed it and let my 5 year old play. He LOVED it. He played many games. It is very easy to start. Settings are easy to change. Graphics are good. Animation is good and fun. The only small downside is that I would like to be able to rotate the 3d board just a little more so you get more of a top down view. You can rotate the board left and right and tilt it. Very good game. Especially for the price.

Great game but get the patch, 2008-02-13
This game is great if you know how to get it loaded. My son and daughter who are 6 and 10 love it. It's entertaining and teaches chess. I'm writing this to save someone else a headache when loadingI have windows xp and when I first tried to load it it wouldn't work. I needed to restart the computer. Then you need to download two patches available from the software company selectsoft that makes this. You may also need to open the game from the configuration menu rather than from start. Also at the configuration menu you can change the resolution to speed up your mouse. From the start meunu you can click on properties for lego chess and choose different compatabilities for different window programs like 2000 or '98. You may need these if it doesn't run properly. Lego.com/interactive also gives trouble shooting tips. All is worth the effort because it's a super fun game for kids!

 a great game that will provide fun for children and adults., 2006-07-06
This game turned me into a chess player in just two weeks of playing every once in a while. This game may discourage people who think that chess is too hard to learn or people who think chess is for freaks. This game is good for people who don't know a bishop from a knight because of the game's built in tutor who teaches you all you need to know and some techniques I never expected him to cover. When playing chess, captures are animated in a half Battle Chess, half jokes you can find off Loony Tunes style.For instance, when a bishop captures a queen, the bishop shoots a spell at the queen and the queen is shrunk down to nothing. This game features chess sets from the Western and Pirates themes as well as a traditional chess set. Lego shouldn't have discontinued this game.It's both fun and educational.Gosh, there's five words I'd thought I'd never say in a row.
